The purpose of this study was to examine the palatal fistula rate after repair with the two-flap palatoplasty technique. This is a retrospective review of 119 consecutive cleft-palate repairs performed over a 5-year interval by a single surgeon. The two-flap palatoplasty technique was used to provide tension-free, multilayer repairs. The age of these children at the time of repair ranged from 7 to 84 months (mode, 9 months). The initial follow-up visit occurred 2 to 12 weeks after the repair operation (mean, 4 weeks). The postoperative follow-up duration ranged from 7 to 48 months. This review of 119 cleft-palate repairs revealed a fistula rate of 3.4 percent (four fistulas in 119 repairs). This experience demonstrates the lowest reported palatal fistula complication rate with use of the two-flap palatoplasty technique.
